Management Consultant, Engagement Manager

South African Department of Health (KZN)

Worked in high-pressure roles as a Medical Officer, General Practitioner for a full-service community clinic, Emergency Response Doctor, and Paramedic College Lecturer. Key skills: problem diagnosis, structuring; fast fact-gathering; rational under pressure; psychology of teams.

Medical Doctor and Lecturer

Four Key Points:

1️⃣ Global Roots

I was born in Germany into an American-Persian Baha’i family. Speaking three languages at once was the norm. I've lived in Europe, the USA, and Africa, and seen 25+ countries.

I studied IB at a United World College, whose mission is to be a “force to unite people, nations, and cultures for peace.”

The above compel an approach of questioning assumptions, listening deeply, and seeking robust, collaborative solutions.

2️⃣ Doctor First

After IB, I toured 16+ European countries for a year with a German-based dance group; my dream was to become a multi-media producer. I became a medical doctor instead.

Apart from medical know-how, this discipline drove me to understand: 

(1) Patterns, systems, and insights from large volumes of data quickly
(2) People’s psychology, motivations, and drives dramatically improve team delivery
(3) That ‘life-and-death’ (LAD) is serious, but rare; life is mostly not LAD, so take moments under pressure to think clearly

3️⃣ Top-Tier Consulting

I’ve spent two decades in top-tier consulting, with McKinsey, Spencer Stuart, and otherwise.

I’ve held Executive, Board, and Advisory roles where broad perspectives were essential. 

One example: advising the CEO/Exco of a Financial Institution with a $10bn asset base and 800 professionals. Over two years, this client's profits doubled, and its funding pipeline grew by 147% to $1bn+ per year.  

I’ve seen the outsized value of structured, fact-driven, analytical, and disciplined approaches to incremental and innovative projects, pipelines, and problems.

4️⃣ Problems I Help You Solve

(1) I’ve spent 20,000+ hours over two decades processing leadership learnings and questions, which I post regularly. Ring the bell on my profile to be notified of these.

(2) Join “The Impactful Executive,” newsletter, where we address the three pains CEO face weekly.

(3) I help Boards and 'G3' Executives (CEOs, CHROs, CFOs) unlock value through: 

* Analytical Thinking (value drivers, model building) & Strategic Clarity (high-impact decisions)
* Execution Discipline (incremental and innovation-focused program management and value-building)
* Top Team Sciences (Exco engagement, effectiveness, efficiency, and senior team dynamics) 
* Executive Talent & Soundboarding (executive search global best practice, leadership advisory)

(4) I can hold a few Board and Exco advisory roles globally (esp. high-tech, high-growth).

Hello 


I hope you find resilience, purpose, and proof that transformation often starts in our toughest moments.

I’m Fatoumata Diallo, the founder and CEO of Gamaal Ltd. My journey has been anything but linear.

𝗔 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁

February 2023 changed everything, At that time, I lost my job. I was housing and food insecure. As a mother, I had no choice but to push forward.

I was faced with two options. One, find another job or to build something of my own. The decision was clear.

Armed with vision and determination, I immersed myself in research. Fear was real. But my mission was more real, and it was to create something bigger.

𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗮𝗹

It's a movement rooted in purpose and faith.
Gamaal was born not just a platform but a transformation.

At Gamaal, we celebrate home-cooked meals as stories, culture, social impact, and economic empowerment. We help home cooks, especially women turn their culinary skills into financial independence.

Why should an Asian mother hesitate to try West African food? Why shouldn’t a West African household explore Middle Eastern flavors?

𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀. 𝗔𝘁 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗮𝗹, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘀


𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗮𝗹:

Leadership & Advocacy has been my passion for impact on the global stage.

☑️ Delegate at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women

☑️ Speaker on economic empowerment & cultural representation

☑️ Contributor to Belgium’s largest UK trade mission, led by HRH Princess Astrid

I also serve on boards committed to community upliftment.

☑️ Board Member - UK National Alliance of Women’s Organisations

☑️ Chairperson - Samuel Lithgow Youth Centre

☑️ Housing Scrutiny Committee - London Borough of Camden

A Global Perspective, A Personal Mission
Born in Guinea, raised in Brussels, and now I am calling London home. I bring a multilingual, multicultural lens to everything I do.

𝗢𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸, 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗲:


Boxing | Reading | Exploring cuisines | Traveling |  Building connections

𝗜𝗳 𝘄𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻'𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱, 𝗹𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝗱𝗼 𝘀𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗧𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿.

If my story motivates, inspires, or resonates with you, let’s talk. Whether it’s entrepreneurship, cultural storytelling, or community empowerment, I’d love to exchange ideas and collaborate.

I believe we can turn challenges into opportunities and build something bigger together.
